The Northwestern Miller in its issue of

There has been little change in the general
situation the past week. The local market
has been weak and dull, closing lower, The
Chicago May dc al keeps the scalpers in hot
water, the holders Of wheat putting the price

time they twist the market. Conservative
SPECTATORS have drawn out of that option
and are watching the developments from day
to day. If they see a weak spot they will
be apt to go for it and sensational results will
follow. Nobody talks about the failure of
the corner, but the majority seem to think
there is screw loose somewhere and it is
being looked for with great vigilance. The
heavy spectators who are not interested in
the May wheat deal are credited with designs
on corn, which is booked by many market
prophets for an early and heavy bulge.
Receipts show heavy decline, while ship

strikes the reader most is the fsct that
the Guatemalans and their neighbors
were so anxious to follow the example of
the United States. They tried to escape
experimenting by adopting once for all
bodily the American forms of govern
ment and institutions. They were not
quite successful. independence from
Spain was achieved easily enough by a
series of unbloody revolutions and decla-
rstlons. But since that time they found
themselves continually in hot water, and
only now after more than two genera
tions, have been busy with adapting peo-
pie to institutions and institu ions to
people seems the desired end, stability
and peaceable progress have been
reached.
The political status of the five states
was after the reputation of Spanish rule
that of Mexican provinces, then fedora
ton under the name of the Omitted
States of Central America" and since
1889 that of independent republic.
The most interesting episode to Ameri-
can readers, though by no means graft
flying one, is Walkers filibustering ex
pedition to Nicaragua and it's inglorious
fate.
The volume contains also g history Of
Panama and a treatise on inter-oceanlc
communication. The Tehuantepec scheme
of the late James B. Esds and others are
carefully dealt with and the grand enter
prise of Count de Lesseps is compre-
hensively discussed.

COKE'S SOLLDITY.

Senator COke's open letter to Mr..
Gibbs and other gentlemen, anent the
anti prohibition movement, has been
meat for the Texas papers this week.
THE GAZETTE gave it publicity last Sun
day morning, and by this time every pa
per in the state has had opportunity to
ssy something about it. Here and there
we find journal land generally on the
anti side that is not altogether pleased
with the Senator's position, but in the
main the criticisms are commendatory.
The papers win prohibition Iesnings ap-
pear to be very well satisfied with the
letter. They argue from the standpoint
that If Coke is not on their side,
he is, at Ieast, not going to take
the stump against them, and do not hest
tate to conceal the fact of their thank
fulness that such is the case. As for the
anti organs, they console themselves
with the reflection that if the Senator is
not willing to lead their hosts TO battle
he has at least told the people, in as terse
English as he can write, that he regards
as "leresy," as a danger
Gus experiment and that he is goiIg to
vote against it. "Thus," say they, 1--WE
shall have the influence of Coke's example
and warning if we do not get him on the
stump. And so, while the stalWart Sena-

istics Of its founder, Mr.. Jefferson. The
party is thoroughly committed to that
system of laws which secures to the citi-
zen the largest liberty consistent with the
welfare of the public. 1t regards govern
ment IS simple repository of right sur
rendered by the people upon trust, and
esteems that government best which
governs least Influenced and inspired
by such principles the Democratic party
has, from time to time, resisted the
abridgement of personal liberty and
rights when the same could be exercis ed
and enjoyed without inficting such evils
upon the public as endangered good gov
eminent and the general welfare of the
people. You hove been pleased to allude
to the position of Mr.. Jefferson upon
sumptuary legislation. His position on
that character of legislation is often used
by the advocates of the liquor traffic
against prohibition, notwithstanding the
fact that no law writer of his day
and time Classed prohibition with sump-
tuary legislation. 1t has been the labor
OF later period to extend the scope of
sumptusry legislation, in order that the
traffic in liquors, regardless of public
welfare, might be shielded from the as
sault by the opinion of Mr.. Jefferson. 1t
may be that had prohibition been sub
mftted to the people of Virginia in his
day and time he would have voted against
1t, not upon the ground, however, that
the people did not possess the power
and the right to protect them
selves from an evil destructive of
good order, but rather for the reason
that the evils of the traffic had not then
assumed such magnitude as to seriously
endanger the welfare of the public. The
question before the people of Texas in
wolves existing conditions, not condi-
tiOns which may have existed near a
century ago. The evils of the liquor
traffic, in Mr.. Jefferson's time, pale into
utter insignifcance beside the monu-
mental horrors that stalk through the
land to-day, hand in hand with this
traffic. The feeble and insignif-
cant power for harm exerted by
the saloon in the earlier days of the re-
public have grown to be an overshadoW-
ing despotism 1t assumes to control
the franchise of freemen. 1t sets at de
hsnce the laws enacted to preserve the
good order Of society. 1t enters the high
and low places of authority, and stamps
its Will over the will of the people. The
wrecks of manhood which fill the land
the distress and bankruptcy wrought
by it's power; the onerOus burdens of
taxation imposed upon honest in
dustry to defray the expenses of crime,
the Legitimate offspring of its power, ali
show now deeply the public welfare is
involved in the evils of the liquor traffic
For one, believe the time has arrived
when this despotlsm should be broken
and overthrown, and the welfare of the
people emancipsted from It's thraIdom

AWAY up in New England, even, where
the snow is and the cold east winds ex-
pei all warmth from mans nature, they
call John Sherman (of Ohio cold. Here
is what a Massachusetts paper says
"Honest John Sherman thinks Mr.. Blaine
will not be a candidate for President in
1888 unless he can get the nomination on
the first ballot. Mr.. Sherman himself
will not get the nomination on either the
first or the second ballot. With all due
respect to Mr.. Sherman's fine qualities
it must be admitted that he is not the
man to enthuse over, and he is not
the man whom the plain, common people
who will have more to say about the
next election and the next nomination
than ever before-want If Mr. Blaine
does not wish to be csndidate-and he
will not be if he has the opposition he
had before-the nomination will probably
go to Allison of Iowa"

THOSE who have been interested in the
Greeley expedition will not fail to re-
member how important part Lieutenant
Danenhower played in the rescue of the
Melville party of that expedition. He
was also on service in the vessel which
conveyed General Grant to the Holy
Land. In the year 1875 he showed some
symptoms of insanity, and it is probable
the experiences of the Arctic voyage
strengthened tendency which culmi-
mated in suicide last Wednesday at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. He was
assigned to duty at that place as sssis-
tant commander of cadets. Lieutenant
Eisenhower was regarded as fine sea-
man and excellent officer.

little disposition to attribute inconsis-

the fence. This is splendid compliment
to his sturdy integrity, which is very
generally believed in by the people of

demonstrated that the Senator's course

TRY COTTON IN THE WEST.

The late rains, benefceRt as, they were,
came too late to be of service to small
grain crops in score or more of the
counties in what is called the drouth dis
trict. In these counties wheat and oats
died in the ground, beyond all power of
reVivIacation, and the season is too far
advanced for replanting. THE GAZETTE
is gratifed to note that in many such
cases there is a tendency to plant cotton
where the dead small grains were sown,
and test the capacity and resources of the
soil and climate for cotton growing.
There is yet ample time to plant cotton if
the people can get seeds, and it should be
q matter of pride and pleasure with those
who can contribute cotton seed and place
it in the hands of farmers in western
counties to do so as speedily and gener-
ously as practicable. In many of the
counties alluded to cotton growing has
not heretofore been feature of agricul-
tural industry. The people have preferred
to believe their soil better adapted to
grain than the great southern staple, and
hence the cereals have had the preference
to the exclusion of cotton. Let fair test
of cotton be made this year, for it is
quite probable the result will show that
cotton can be raised fully as advantage
ously as grain. Old settlers In Texas
can readily recall q time, not so many
years distant, either, when there was
popular impression that the prairie lands
of the state were not very valuable, in an
agricultural ways; the preference ran to
the lands along the rivers and creeks.
Then by degrees it was ascertained that
corn, and cotton and WheRt-and indeed
all the cereals, could be grown as favor
ably on the prsiries as on bottom lands.
Why may not the same result, measurably,
be attained in some of the western
counties, in regard to cotton? THE GA
zETTE, as is well known, has great faith
in the west as field of operations for the
man with hoe, and 1t will not surprise
THE GAZETTE at all if an intelligent,
thorough test will establish the fact of
the eligibility of great areas in the west
for cotton growing that have heretofore
been deemed suited to cereals alone.
